چکیده
A.A.M. Kuijk Department of Interactive systems, CWI K ruislaall 413, 1098 Sf Amsterdam, The Netherlallds Email: [email protected] A diffetence engine is described that is designed to be used as low level component of a raster graphics architecture. The speed of the system (11 ns per operation) is achieved by the use of custom VLSI components for the most primitive operations. This permits the video rate reconstruction of images and other signals compressed by encoding them on various polynomial bases. The paper describes a feasibility study for its use for image reconstruction. The study shows that the system can be applied to the decompression of spline wavelet encoded images.

A Difference Engine for Images with Applications to Wavelet Decompression
The low level components of a new raster graphics architecture have proven to have novel uses in image reconstruction. The display hardware can be regarded as a very fast (11ns per operation) difference engine that works in two-dimensions. The speed is partly achieved by the use of custom VLSI components for the most primitive operations and this permits the video rate reconstruction of images ...
متن کاملA New Approach for Quantitative Evaluation of Reconstruction Algorithms in SPECT
ABTRACT Background: In nuclear medicine, phantoms are mainly used to evaluate the overall performance of the imaging systems and practically there is no phantom exclusively designed for the evaluation of the software performance. In this study the Hoffman brain phantom was used for quantitative evaluation of reconstruction techniques. The phantom is modified to acquire t...
متن کاملUsing Text Surrounding Method to Enhance Retrieval of Online Images by Google Search Engine
Purpose: the current research aimed to compare the effectiveness of various tags and codes for retrieving images from the Google. Design/methodology: selected images with different characteristics in a registered domain were carefully studied. The exception was that special conceptual features have been apportioned for each group of images separately. In this regard, each group image surr...
متن کاملUltra-Fast Image Reconstruction of Tomosynthesis Mammography Using GPU
Digital Breast Tomosynthesis (DBT) is a technology that creates three dimensional (3D) images of breast tissue. Tomosynthesis mammography detects lesions that are not detectable with other imaging systems. If image reconstruction time is in the order of seconds, we can use Tomosynthesis systems to perform Tomosynthesis-guided Interventional procedures. This research has been designed to study u...
متن کاملEffect of Post-Reconstruction Gaussian Filtering on Image Quality and Myocardial Blood Flow Measurement with N-13 Ammonia PET
Objective(s): In order to evaluate the effect of post-reconstruction Gaussian filtering on image quality and myocardial blood flow (MBF) measurement by dynamic N-13 ammonia positron emission tomography (PET), we compared various reconstruction and filtering methods with image characteristics. Methods: Dynamic PET images of three patients with coronary artery disease (male-female ratio of 2:1; a...
